AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a glass substrate that has a coating of enamel on at least part of it. The enamel is formed using a specific method. The technical effect of this invention is the creation of a durable and effective coated glass substrate for various applications such as cooking, decorative, and safety purposes.

Problems solved by technology

Conventional commercially available enamels are not suitable for decorating coated glass substrates as these enamels are not able to completely etch the multilayer coating, thereby leading to undesirable defects such as discoloration, lack of adhesion, delamination and loss of coating functionality.
This process is both costly and can lead to quality defects.

on of Bi—B—Zn-Based Oxide Compositions and Pastes

[0134]Table 1 gives examples of glass frit compositions. The raw materials for the frits were mixed and melted in a ceramic crucible in an electrical kiln. The kiln was heated up with a ramp of 30° C. / min and held at a peak temperature of 850 to 950° C. for 15 to 20 minutes. After this time, the glass melt was found to be homogeneous and was then quenched in water. The glass frit was then dried at 120° C. in a drying cabinet. After drying, the glass frit was ground using a jet mill (an Alpine-Hosokawa pico jet mill 40AFG) to a particle size of D(50)=6 to 7 μm and D(90)=12 to 13 μm.

n of Coated Glass Substrates

[0138]The resultant pastes were screen printed using a 77T screen onto 6 mm thick coated glass plates (300×150×6 mm) with a wet layer thickness of 25-30 μm. The coated glass plates A, B, C and D employed in these tests are each commercially available coated glasses (A=ClimaGuard; B=SilverStar; C=SilverStar (2 Ag layers); D=Sunguard SN). The layer structure of each of these coatings (layer order starting from the glass substrate) is as follows:

[0139]A: silicon nitride, zinc oxide, silver, nickel / chromium, tin oxide zinc oxide, silicon nitride.

[0140]B: silicon nitride, tin oxide, zinc oxide, silver, nickel / chromium, zinc oxide, silicon nitride.

[0141]C: order similar to B but two silver layers separated by three layers of zinc oxide, tin oxide, zinc oxide.

[0142]D: 2× the sequence of A.

[0143]The prints were first dried at 150° C. for 15 minutes. Firing was then carried out in a two-chamber roller kiln (NBP combustion systems model Fer 2C 15 4Z-SDO) with a set...

lts for Coated Glass Substrates

[0144]The resultant enamels were evaluated to determine the following properties:[0145]whether the enamel dissolves the coatings completely

[0146]A characteristic of firing enamels on coated glass is the strong temperature difference between printed (heat absorbing) and non-printed (heat reflective) areas in the firing process. As a result of this, the edges of the print have lower temperatures and the conventional enamels either cannot attack the coating at the edge of the print or can only attack it partially, and full dissolution of the coating is therefore not observed.[0147](ii) whether the enamel forms a smooth surface

[0148]Conventional enamels frequently cause surface defects such as rough surfaces or bubbles, or coloured reflections with a metallic sheen. The formation of bubbles indicates that the reaction between coating and enamel was not completed during the firing process. A rough surface indicates that after the reaction had occurred, the ...

Abstract

A method of decorating a glass substrate having a coating, said method comprising: applying a paste onto at least a portion of said coating in a desired pattern; drying said paste to form a dried paste in said desired pattern; and firing said dried paste to form an enamel in said desired pattern, said enamel being directly bonded to said glass substrate by dissolution of the portion of the coating to which the paste is applied during the firing step. The paste comprises a solids portion dispersed in a dispersion medium, said solids portion including a composition comprising: 10 to 40 mol % ZnO; 20 to 40 mol % B2O3; 25 to 65 mol % Bi2O3, TeO2, or PbO, or mixtures thereof; and to 15 mol % Al2O3.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to enamel coating of a glass substrate having a coating, for example, architectural or automotive glass comprising a coating such as an inorganic optical coating.BACKGROUND[0002]Glass substrates used in, for example, architectural and automotive applications are increasingly coated with thin, multilayer stacks. These multilayer stacks typically comprise numerous thin films (typically <100 nm each) which are planar, homogeneous, transparent in the visible spectrum and provide a desired functionality to the glass substrate. This functionality can be, for example, near-infrared (NIR) reflection or electrical conductance to heat the transparent substrate.[0003]These multilayer coatings typically comprise a precisely controlled sequence of materials, designed to give the overall desired effect (see H. Bach and D. Krause, Thin Films on Glass, Springer, 1997 and H. Angus Macleod, Thin film and optical filters, CRC Press, 2017). T...
